Including Ai, Ml, Coding & Robotics In School Curriculum Is Imperative Now, Says Cisce Head Gerry Arathoon

With the increasing pace of digitalisation, technology has become the driving force behind unprecedented advancements in all spheres of life. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has emphasised on experiential learning and vocational education, which aligns perfectly with the need to incorporate new-age technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Robotics into the education of students. A study by World Economic Forum (WEF) highlights that the Indian job market will grow by 22% in the next five years, with new jobs dominated by AI, ML, and data-related segments. To establish a successful career in AI, job-seekers must possess relevant technical skills, which can be fostered by incorporating AI and robotics education into the school curriculum.
